When it comes to setting the inputs, the PH30 offers a wide range of options. Users can choose from 13 different resistance settings, ranging from 30 Ohm to 47 kOhm, as well as 8 capacitance options, ranging from 50 pF to 420 pF. This level of customization ensures optimal performance and compatibility with different cartridges.

The PH30 also offers a choice of gain settings, with options of 50/60/70 dB. Moreover, it provides independent XLR and RCA outputs, allowing for versatile connectivity options.

In terms of power consumption, the PH30 is designed with a highly efficient power supply. This not only ensures maximum sound quality but also consumes less power compared to previous models, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Despite its impressive features, the PH30 maintains a compact housing, measuring 260 x 170 x 310 mm (W x H x D). This compact size makes it easy to integrate into any audio setup without taking up excessive space.

The PH30 offers various RAL colors to choose from, allowing users to customize the appearance of their phono stage to suit their personal preferences or match their existing audio equipment.
